Gorge Artists Create is an open-admission show, which allows Gorge-area artists to explore the themes and styles of their choice. One will find plenty of variety at this particular show. The pieces have been juried by Elizabeth Quinn, editor of High Desert Journal. The winners will be announced at First Thursday, August 7, from 5-7 pm at The Dalles Art Center. We'll also be posting the winners online, so stayed tuned! We hope to see all of our artists, supporters, friends, family, and newcomers at our reception.

First Place - Jan Holt, pastel, "The Cliffs"

Third Place - Ed Bonham, watercolor, "God's Country"
